Portland City Council Reviews Keller Auditorium's Future Amid Quake Concerns
The Portland City Council is considering whether to renovate or replace the historic Keller Auditorium, which is outdated and unlikely to survive a major earthquake. Proposals include renovating the existing site or building a new venue at Portland State University or the Lloyd District. The decision, expected in July, aims to revitalize downtown Portland, which has been struggling with economic and social issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
